"The Freefall Research Page"

... by a whuffo! Amusing site:

"A few people have survived a fall of thousands of feet without a working parachute. This research page is dedicated to recording their stories."

I wonder what those 'survivers' would do without the life saving 'snow'

Fort Bragg, NC: In the summer of 1977, Michael Cox was a Radio-Teletype operator in the 82nd Airborne division. Jumping with a heavy equipment bag from 1,200 feet out of a C-130, Cox hit the side of the plane and spun as he fell, which prevented his parachute from opening properly. With his parachute streaming uselessly above him, he hit the ground in a sandy area. He was knocked out for about 45 minutes, but recovered well enough to hike back to the mustering point where the company commander ordered him to do fifty push-ups for arriving late. Cox collapsed and was taken to the emergency room where he was found to have a neck fracture. He recovered and jumped again about six weeks later.

Section "the Unplanned Freefall" makes me think that perhaps the site is a little more tongue-in-cheek than it seems at first instance.

But then... who knows...?
